I had my 1 week post op check-up today and was moved to full liquids for 2 weeks. I'm so happy to not eat broth tonight! Overall I'm feeling ok to almost good. I've been off my pain meds for a few days...only thing bugging me now is the big incision, but that's getting better every day. I went back to work yesterday and managed pretty well. I'm getting my liquids in, now it's time to start getting in the Protein.

Today is the best I've felt since having the surgery...today is probably the first day I don't have the "buyers remorse" thoughts. I was pretty happy to see that I was down 22 lbs overall from my highest weight. :)

My big incision continued to bother me for the first few weeks. About week three I would have an occasional strange sensation that felt like something tearing under the incision and after than happened a few times the pain went away completely.

It sounds like you are doing really well. Just make sure to listen to your body and don't overdo! Also, make sure you keep yourself well hydrated.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
